Summerdale, PA (03/25/2022) — SUMMERDALE, Pa., March 25 - Central Penn College is one of only 57 state universities and colleges to be designated a PNGAS Guard Friendly School by the Pennsylvania National Guard Associations (PNGAS). For the third consecutive year, Central Penn College has earned this distinction.
"Central Penn College prides itself on providing a quality educational experience to our veteran, military and National Guard students and their families," said School of Business and Professional Studies Dean Ben Lipschutz, a retired army veteran and an advisor to the college's Armed Forces Association club.
